Antique Islamic wall tile

The wall tile featured here was purchased from a well respected home in Zurich as well as a few others.English and Dutch delt tiles totalling 7 in all.
The raised pattern is rather special and the enameling is great but there is some crazing which i guess is normal for its age and its 2,5cm thick.
There is a great site on islamic pottery and tiles...go here
mostly from iran and iraq and a lot of these items will be found in private collections.Here is another link showing Gods warriors on tiles and other art...go here
I will do a seperate article on both early english and dutch tiles a bit later as there is a plethora of links but where to find the best ones for u...u will find them here midweek.
